Academic Integrity

MyDistrict Virtual School Academic Integrity Policy

Academic Integrity is a Non-Negotiable

Academic Integrity is one of our core values and one of the most important areas of focus as a learning organization. Students with academic integrity make decisions based on ethics and values that will prepare them to be productive and ethical citizens. This paper explains the tools we use in dealing with integrity, definitions, roles and responsibilities of all parties along with the matrix of integrity interventions.

Proctored Exams

All students sign the 'I Agree' page during course registration in which the student agrees to abide by the policies and procedures of FLVS. Included in FLVS policies is the administration of proctored exams. Proctored exams can be requested by FLVS at any time and for any reason in an effort to ensure academic integrity. It is the student’s responsibility to work cooperatively with FLVS faculty to schedule and take the exam. When taking the exam to assess a student’s integrity, the exam must be passed with at least a 59.5%. FLVS may institute a program to regularly administer proctored exams to randomly selected students. 

By clicking the “I Agree” button at the Academic Integrity page, students agree to submit 100% of my own work, and I commit to Academic Integrity by registering as a student at FLVS. By clicking the “I agree” button, students also agree to take a proctored exam at any time if requested. Students should understand that they may be required to have a web camera in order to complete this process. In addition, students agree that for any form of proctoring, they will need a picture ID. Students should also understand that should they finish the segment in an extremely accelerated pace, they may be subject to additional accountability measures. Failure to comply with the Academic Integrity commitment or refusing to take a proctored exam will be grounds for removal from the FLVS program. Further, students agree to comply with all of the policies and procedures listed in the FLVS district Student Progression Plan and FLVS Code of Conduct/Student Handbook, which is posted on their VSA Student dashboard and at www.flvs.net.

If you have any questions about proctored exams please contact the Academic Integrity Hotline at 407-513-3341 or 866-943-3050 (toll free).

Student Turn It In Report

Turnitin is a service that scans all submitted assignments to see if it matches work on the internet or work that has been previously submitted. The service creates a report that you can review to see what portions of the submitted work matches the database. You can review the report before you submit work.

  1. Upload your assignment and wait at least 15 minutes for the service to scan the upload.

  2. If you close out of the assignment, you can open your grade book to view your assignment submission. You can then click on the percentage to view the report.

3. The report will highlight the matching portions from other submissions or websites.
